Rory McIlroy Returns | Seen & Heard at the Genesis Scottish Open

Rory McIlroy made his much-anticipated return to the golf course at the Genesis Scottish Open on Thursday. The Northern Irishman has been sidelined by a back injury since the Masters Tournament in April.

McIlroy looked sharp in his return, shooting a 4-under 67 in the opening round. He is tied for eighth place, three shots behind leader Ryan Fox.

“It was nice to be back out there competing,” said McIlroy. “I’m still a little bit rusty, but I’m happy with the way I played.”

McIlroy said his back is feeling good and he is looking forward to the rest of the week.

“My goal is to take it one day at a time and not put too much pressure on myself,” he said. “I’m just happy to be back playing.”
